Friday after Thanksgiving, 28 Nov., 2014
At Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. City) & the area known as "cedar
hill" (near E. 78-79th St. just east of the park's East Drive, & west
of Fifth Ave.), a moderately bright NASHVILLE Warbler (seeming of the
"eastern" form) was moving about in a flock with multiple juncos,
white-throated sparrows, & some other common & expected winter
species; the warbler was working the cedars and other conifers near
the upper fenced area, visible at ~7:30 a.m. from that fence line atop
the hill. It was not noticed when I more briefly passed that way again
at least 2 hrs. later, but a few other birders may have gone for a
look. This may well be the same individual Nashville present in that
area some weeks ago (not reported) and even a bit earlier. It's
getting late but not unprecedented at all, & Central has Dec. records
of the species, including (rarely) on their CBC. A number of other
birds to add, but will do so in a post at a later time, or date.
PS, it may be obvious to all who read this list, but: keep posting to
a public list (such as this) on the status of the Cassin's Kingbird in
Brooklyn NYC, as there are clearly folks who could be thinking of
driving hundreds of miles mainly to see that individual bird. Reports
both positive & negative are useful, as are multiple reports from
differing times of (any) day... it also gets more & more interesting
the longer it lingers! (thanks for all who continue reporting, & my
own mea culpas for not doing so recently...)
good birding,
Tom Fiore
